Chelsea (A) | Pre-Match Thread

[Father Paul]

How can it if the training ground may be closed?

Let's wait and see the results of the next set of tests. The OP suggests Thursday as a possible reopening date if no new cases emerge. That means we may have to play Chelsea on Sunday down five. Far from ideal but an entirely plausible scenario.

This game should be postponed, not because of whether we have enough players available, but for public health reasons. FfS does English football live in alternative world to the global pandemic that has killed so very many in our society ? Scrub the season and give the Dippers another asterisk if it helps, or at least postpone all the games until all the players, back room and other staff such as Stewards and Catering have taken their turn in having the vaccine !

Newcastle closed their training grounds and asked to postpone the match(villa game) that was 3/4 days away.

Yes, but think they played again before it re-opened and trained away from the training ground.

They asked on 1st December for the game(on 5th Dec) to be postponed and PL allowed. Their next match was on 12 th Dec. That allowed 10 days of isolation

Fuck knows. Should be cancelled but the prem rarely do the smart thing.
if it goes ahead we’ll be without a good portion of the first team including, if correct, the goalie and our only two right backs.

I hope we'll be staying in the same hotel as Altrinchams finest.

Are they doing more test today on your players staff? I hope this is not too serious and the club can get through this.

Stuff the games, the league, the cups. People matter more.

The PL and the tv companies won’t care less about the integrity of the league

if we can put the youth team out they’ll make us play

Mass testing on all staffs and players was carried out today. We will know more about results tomorrow.

Tv broadcasters and PL dont care much about people. Money is all that matters

or the players, staff, or their families welfare either, just the ad revenue.
